Explore and reclaim the infested castle-city of Kingsvein! Ride into its depths on your trusty wyvern, and lead your customizable party of Knights and Mystics in deep tactical combat.
The game's streamlined yet depth-filled combat system is a standout feature. Unlike the developer's previous titles, the combat focuses more on battlefield control and hindering foes, requiring strategic positioning and environmental utilization. The turn structure is simple, with the player's party acting before the enemies, allowing for better coordination of abilities and movements. However, this does not mean the combat lacks complexity. In fact, the game emphasizes the interplay of various status effects and terrain manipulations, enabling players to set up elaborate combos and traps.
The highly customizable party system allows players to choose from a diverse array of 16 different classes, each with unique abilities and playstyles. These classes can be freely mixed and matched, encouraging experimentation and the discovery of effective strategies. As characters level up, they can unlock upgrades and passive abilities for their equipped classes, further deepening the customization options.
Exploration and environmental puzzle-solving complement the tactical combat. Players can use their characters' abilities to interact with the world in creative ways, such as freezing rivers, blasting through cave walls, or manipulating statues. These interactions often lead to the discovery of hidden treasures, secrets, and optional challenges, providing a sense of progression and discovery.
